Raleigh’s downtown skyline is constantly shifting, and we are thrilled to announce that the transformation of 709 E Lenoir St has officially begun. As we look toward a mid-2026 completion, the first phase of Loft3 is now in motion: clearing the canvas for something truly exceptional.
If you’ve driven through the neighborhood recently, you’ve likely seen the activity. We are currently removing the existing structures on-site to make way for a new standard of urban living in the heart of the city.
Precision from the Ground Up: Steel Construction
One of the most defining features of Loft3 is our commitment to Cold-Formed Steel (CFS) construction. While many multifamily projects in the Triangle rely on traditional wood framing, we’ve opted for the superior precision and durability of steel.
For our future owners, this choice translates to a better living experience. Steel framing offers perfectly straight lines, exceptional fire resistance, and a level of structural integrity that ensures your home feels solid and permanent from the moment you step inside.
A Curated Urban Aesthetic
Loft3 is designed for the discerning Raleigh residents who appreciates the intersection of architecture and lifestyle. Our 21-unit boutique building is focused on modern finishes that lean into a sophisticated, minimalist palette:
- Minimalist Low Maintenance Kitchen European Kitchens: Featuring sleek slab cabinetry and quartz countertops
- Voluminous Spaces: 9′ high ceilings and expansive Pella windows designed to flood each residence with natural light.
- Human-Scaled Design: We are building for the streetscape, ensuring Loft3 feels like a natural, walkable extension of the vibrant downtown community.
What’s Next for 709 E Lenoir?
With the site preparation underway, the team is moving straight into the site grading and foundation phase. This “clean slate” allows us to implement a state-of-the-art infrastructure that supports modern, low-maintenance city living.
The evolution of East Lenoir is a story of progress, and we are proud to be at the forefront. Loft3 represents more than just new residences; it’s a commitment to the “missing middle” housing that makes Raleigh such a dynamic place to call home.
